Supportive and Oversight

The Supportive Oversight Subcommittee (SOS)

The SOS relates to Authorized Ministers (ordained, licensed, commissioned, OMPS, dual standing) holding Standing in the RMC, providing on-going support for the continued authorization for professional ministry. The SOS provides periodic vocational support to each Authorized Minister every 3-5 years. The SOS oversees the process for Authorized Ministers seeking Ecclesiastical Endorsement, periods of Leave of Absence, and requests for Exempt Standing. One of the goals of the SOS is to help build peer support among Authorized Ministers through Clergy Retreats, Communities of Practice,  and ministerial collegiums. The SOS also oversees transfers of Standing in and out of the RMC.
